For questions 5-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage. eBay eBay is a global phenomenon--the world's largest garage sale, online shopping center, car dealer and auction site with 147 million registered users in 30 countries as of March 2005. You can find everything from encyclopedias to olives to snow boots to stereos to airplanes for sale. And if you stumble on it before the eBay overseers do, you might even find a human kidney or a virtual date. eBay is, first and foremost, an online auction site. You can browse through categories like Antiques, Boats, Clothing & Accessories, Computers & Networking, Jewelry & Watches and Video Games. When you see something you like, you click on the auction title and view the details, including pictures, descriptions, payment options and shipping information. If you have a pretty good idea of what you're looking for, you can search for it using simple keywords, such as "Apple iPod", or using more advanced search criteria that helps narrow the results, such as keywords to exclude, item location, price range and accepted payment methods. If you place a bid on an item, you enter a contractual agreement to buy it if you win the auction. All auctions have minimum starting bids, and some have a reserve price--a secret minimum amount the selle is willing to accept for the item. If the bidding doesn't reach the reserve price, the seller doesn't have to part with the item. In addition to auctions, you can find tons of fixed-price items on eBay that make shopping there just like shopping at any other online marketplace. You see what you like, you buy it, you pay for it and you wait for it to arrive at your door. There axe also auction listings that give you the option to "Buy It Now" for a price that's typically higher than the auction's start price. If you choose to buy the item for the "Buy It Now" price instead of bidding on it, the auction ends instantly and the item is yours. You can pay for an item on eBay using a variety of methods, including money order, cashier's check, cash, personal check and electronic payment services like PayPal and BidPay. It's up to each seller to decide which payment methods he'll accept. PayPal is the easiest way to buy something on eBay, because eBay owns PayPal. The PayPal payment process is already built into any auction listing on eBay. Just as you can buy almost anything on eBay, you can sell almost anything, too. Using a simple listing process, you can put all of the junk in your basement up for sale to the highest bidder. Lots of people sell their old laptop(携式电脑) once they've upgraded, the clothing their kids have grown out of or the brand new couch they bought on final sale without realizing it wouldn't fit in their den. Some people even make a business of eBay by opening their own "eBay store". When you sell an item on eBay, you pay listing fees and turn over a percentage of the final sale price to eBay. Once you register (for free) with eBay, you can access all of your eBay buying and selling activities in a single location called "My eBay". To look for an item, you don't need to register--you can browse, search and watch items (up to 10) as a guest. You can't bid or buy as a guest, though. So the next step is to register with eBay here. It's quick and free. Now we can place a bid on the set of Simpsons Pez dispensers. If we click on the link in our watch list, we end up back at the auction page. There are four main sections to any auction page: ? Title/Overview -- This is where you see the basic information, like auction title, price, shipping price, seller information and how many bids have been placed so far. ? Description -- This is where the seller provides details about the item. ? Shipping, payment and return policy -- This is where you can find full shipping information, any details the seller wants a bidder to know about making payment (including which methods are accepted) and what the seller's return policy is. ? Bidding -- This is where you place a bid on the item. eBay's bidding process works like this: You enter the maximum amount you are willing to pay for the item, and eBay bids incrementally(增加) on your behalf until the bidding reaches the maximum amount you entered. So if we decide we are willing to pay $ 2.00 for this set of Pez dispensers, we enter $ 2.00 in the bid slot. When we click "Place bid", the next screen is a confirmation screen where we can see the bid price and commit to it. Once we place and confirm our bid, here's what the auction page looks like: The top portion of the page with the blue background is for our eyes only no one else can see what our maximum bid is. Why is the current price $ 0.99 and not $ 2.007 It's because when you're the first bidder, no matter what you enter as your maximum price, your first bid is always the starting price. If someone bids against us, eBay will bid on our behalf up to $ 2.00 in $ 0.05 increments (low-price auctions use very small increments, while high price auctions use larger increments). So if another user comes along and enters $ 1.25 as his maximum, eBay will bid $ 1.31 on our behalf, and we'll still be winning. But if another user places a maximum bid of $ 2. 01, we've been outbid and eBay will send us an e-mail to this effect in case we're not watching the auction. At this point, if we still want these Pez dispensers, we have to enter a new maximum bid. This is where eBay's bidding process doesn't work exactly like it's supposed to and starts to get exciting. If every bidder truly entered the maximum he was willing to pay, auctions would end with little fanfare(炫耀). The person who entered the highest maximum bid would quietly win. But humans being human, the actual maximum amount they're willing to pay is usually "a tiny bit more than what everyone who's bidding against me is willing to pay." If we still want our Pez dispensers, we'll enter a new maximum bid of, say, $ 3.00; and as long as the other bidder's maximum amount is less than $ 3.00, we'll be winning the auction again. Our coup(妙计) might be temporary, though, because if the other bidder wants these Pez dispensers as much as we do, he's going to bid again until he outbids our maximum. And now we have a bidding war. Bidding wars are a rush and they're sometimes very expensive. If this war continues for the three days until the auction ends, we could end up paying a hundred bucks for these Pez dispensers. It happens. The adrenaline(肾 上腺素) takes over and people start bidding to win--net necessarily to win a few Pez dispensers, just to WIN. For this reason, most of the bidding happens in the last two minutes of an auction. People wait to place a bid until an auction is about to close--in this way, they can catch other bidders off guard, and hopefully no one will get the chance to outbid them. The last 10 seconds of a bidding war often becomes a battle of bandwidth. Someone using a dial-up connection will never be able to place a winning bid in 10 seconds. Someone using a cable modem can place a winning bid in two seconds. There is at least one reason why someone would place a bid very early in the auction to remove a "Buy It Now" option. Remember that when an auction item also has a "Buy It Now" option, if someone decides to "Buy It Now" the auction is over. But the opposite is also true As soon as someone bids on the item, the "Buy It Now" option disappears. If someone comes across an item she wants but she's not willing to pay the "Buy It Now" price, she'll enter the minimum starting bid just so another user doesn't come along and buy it out from under her. 1. There is nearly everything on sales at eBay, and even human kidney is allowed. 2. eBay is famous mostly for it is a big auction web site, with all kinds of things for bidding: 3. If you don't want to bid for something on the auction list, you click "Buy It Now." to get it. 4. You can sell things on eBay by giving eBay certain amount of money from the final sale price. 5. To see details of an item for auction, you may go to the _______________ section on auction page. 6. After you key in the maximum amount for an item, eBay bids for you until the bidding reaches the _______________. 7. When our bidding is defeated by another bidder, eBay will inform us of this by _______________. 8. Human psychology decides that our maximum bid should be _______________ more than that of the rival bidder. 9. Because people are eager to win, during an auction, the really competitive bidding usually occurs in _______________. 10. People usually place an early bid in case the bidding ends too soon with someone choosing _______________. Part ?

The World Environment Day theme selected for 2004 is Wanted! Seas and Oceans--Dead or Alive? (45) . It also calls on each and every one of us to act. Do we want to keep seas and oceans healthy and alive or polluted and dead? UNEP is honored that the City of Barcelona, the Catalan Regional Government and the Government of Spain will be hosting this important United Nations day. World Environment Day is commemorated each year on 5 June. (46) . Part IV Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth) (25 minutes) Section A Directions: In this section, there is a short passage with 5 questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words on Answer Sheet 2. No one should be forced to wear a uniform under any circumstance. Uniforms are demanding to the human spirit and totally unnecessary in a democratic society. Uniforms tell the world that the person who wears one has no value as an individual but only lives to function as a part of a whole. The individual in a uniform loses all selfworth. There are those who say that wearing a uniform gives a person a sense of identification with a larger, more important concept. What could be more important than the individual himself? If an organization is so weak that it must rely on cloth and buttons to inspire its members, that organization has no right to continue its existence. Others say that the practice of making persons wear uniforms, say in a school, eliminates all envy and competition in the matter of dress, such that a poor person who cannot afford good-quality clothing is not to be belittled(轻视) by a wealthy person who wears expensive quality clothing. Those persons conveniently ignore such critical concepts as freedom of choice, motivation, and individuality. If all persons were to wear the same clothing, why would anyone strive to be better? It is only a short step from forcing everyone to drive the same car, have the same type of foods. When this happens, all incentive to improve one's life is removed. Why would parents bother to work hard so that their children could have a better life than they had when they know that their children are going to be forced to have exactly the same life that they had? Uniforms also hurt the economy. Right now, billions of dollars are spent on the fashion industry yearly. Thousands of persons are employed in designing, creating and marketing different types of clothing. If everyone were forced to wear uniforms, artistic personnel would be unnecessary. Sales persons would be superfluous (多余 的) as well; why bother to sell the only items that are available? The wearing of uniforms would destroy the fashion industry, which in turn would have a ripple effect(连锁反应) on such industries as advertising and promotion. Without advertising, newspapers, magazines, and television would not be able to remain in business. One entire information and entertainment industry would collapse. 47. What is the ultimate effect of wearing a uniform on the individual? 48. The passage points out that to identity, with others is less important than to identify with ______. 49. To refute the idea that wearing a uniform can avoid envy, the author argues that it would hinder people from working hard for ______. 50. To sum up, the author's point of view is that wearing a uniform not only affects individuals, but also does harm to ______. 51. What industry could be most directly and seriously affected if people were forced to wear uniforms? Section B Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. Passage One The first innovation in the design of combat binoculars(双筒望远镜)in over 200 years is on the horizon. The device, called "talking binoculars", is derived from the strategic satellite-to-satellite communications program. The idea is to use one pair of binoculars to project a laser beam to carry a scout's' observations to a second pair as the receiver. Military scouts today cannot use radios during radio silent scouting missions inside enemy territory because the enemy can detect and locate their transmissions. With the new "talking" binoculars, when a forward military scout sees the enemy through transmitting laser binoculars and depresses the target locate and store button, global positioning system technology will measure the enemy's target position. Then, the binoculars store the information and use its invisible laser beam to transmit the enemy's position to a receiving set of binoculars. The receiving scout can then immediately transmit target data back to the lines. The military scout will no longer need maps, have to depend on written notes, or leave a position to report back to the commander. The innovative binoculars also solve the aged-data problem by relaying the military scout's observations in near-real time to the commander in the tactical (战术的) operations center. The scout does not need to personally return to lines to make a report which is aged by the time the commander receives it. "Enemy detection of the binoculars is near impossible because the weak laser beam is projected from point to point," Strickland said. "An enemy searching for a weak' laser source requires sensitive optical detectors and must be near the receiver to detect the weak laser. It will be much easier for the scout to see the enemy than for the enemy to detect the laser beam. By comparison, radio broadcast is transmitted in all directions, allowing easy detection by a prepared enemy from all angles. "he said. Digital laser communications is a valuable technology. Its advantage stems from providing high data rate communications capability when the mission prevents scouts from using their radios. A weak laser beam can carry digitized voice messages, targeting data and high-quality video images at extremely high data rates. Military planners are already envisioning a day when all communications on a battlefield, between tanks or between tanks and helicopters, to name only two examples, are transmitted by laser. Theoretically, a laser-based communications system could handle 200,000 voice channels. Currently, even the most powerful high-capacity lasers, capable of transmitting 100 TV channels, weigh only 29 pounds, so they are easily deployed on vehicles or aircraft. In the future, lasers may also transmit information directly from orbiting satellites. 52. Without the talking binoculars, a scout during radio silent scouting missions ______. A) can be easily detected and located by the enemy B) is not able to determine the enemy's target position C) has to make a record of what he has observed D) risks getting caught when returning to report back 53. Strickland pointed out one major advantage of talking binoculars that ______. A) it is impossible for the enemy to detect them B) the chance of being detected by the enemy is slim C) the laser beam they send is too weak to be detected D) they can only be detected if the detector is near to the forward scout 54. What can be inferred about the relationship between laser communications and radios? A) Lasers have replaced all the radio devices. B) Lasers have more advantages over radios. C) Laser communications are based on radio devices. D) Lasers are more widely applied in war than radios. 55. On the future battlefield, laser technology will be used ______. A) in the communication between vehicles and aircrafts only B) to both sending information to and receiving information from satellites C) widely in war due to its high capacity and low weight D) exclusively to handle the transmission of voice messages 56. The new device is called "talking binoculars" probably because ______. A) scouts can use them to share information efficiently as if they are talking to each other B) scouts can use them to talk to each other just as they do with cell phones C) they can transform video images to sounds as if they are talking to the scouts D) they send out sounds to warn the scouts once the enemy is detected Passage Two The economy started 2006 extremely strong in spite of record oil prices and rising interest rates. An unusually mild winter across much of the country is part of the story, but the lack of worry by consumers and business about oil prices is an even bigger part. The question remains, will we continue to glide down the economic highway or slip on oil? Oil prices have raised overall consumer prices and cut into household purchasing power. So far the higher costs haven't deterred (阻止) buying, even buying of cars and other energy-sensitive items. The major reason for the lack of reaction is that oil is less important to the economy than it once was. Oil, which produced 45% of world energy in 1971, accounted for only 35% in 2003, with increases in nuclear and natural gas use making up the difference. GM, Ford, and Chrysler suffered as buyers shifted to more fuel-efficient vehicles from Toyota and Honda, but the shift was hot pronounced. Admittedly, light truck sales are holding up in part because manufacturers are offering large discounts to "move the metal", but the fact that buyers are responding to those incentives shows they aren't too scared of gas prices. Americans continue to spend more than they earn, but gasoline prices will have an effect. Although the April chain store results suggest gasoline prices aren't hurting much yet, eventually Americans will be forced to realize that they have to slow down. We expect the economy to slow in the second half of the year as the impact of higher oil prices sinks in. How much the economy slows will depend on how high oil prices remain. We expect some drop in oil prices by yearend, but I have been saying that for so long even I am starting not to believe it. The anger against the oil companies is clearly misplaced. Exxon and friends control only a small share of world oil reserves. Most are now in the hands of state-owned oil companies. The recent move by Bolivia to nationalize its industry is only the latest in a long line of similar actions. The history of these enterprises is one of severe underinvestment and mismanagement, which tends to reduce supply and keep prices high. The risk on oil prices is primarily on the high side of our forecast. Although I think oil prices will drop back in the medium term, to address my serious worries, I'm buying my wife a bike for Mothers' Day. 57. The economy at the beginning of 2006 is not affected by the high oil price mainly because ______. A) the warm winter requires less oil to run the heaters B) the warm winter promotes consumption, across the country C) people believe that the oil price will drop in near future D) people don't think the high price will make much of a difference 58. The root cause of the maintenance of consumption level despite the high oil price is that ______. A) the prices of other products have not been affected B) oil takes a smaller proportion of world energy C) people are richer to afford expensive products D) people are used to living a comfortable life 59. What is said about GM, Ford and Chrysler in the third paragraph? A) They are all light trucks that are efficient in fuel. B) Their sales drop as more people are more interested in foreign cars. C) Their lower prices attract those who don't worry about high gas prices. D) They have to provide better after service to compete with Toyota and Honda. 60. The author sees the reform of Bolivia's industry as a sign of ______. A) less oil supply and high oil price in the world B) nationalization of industry in other countries C) smaller share of oil reserves in state-owned companies D) more efficiency in exploitation and processing of oil 61. What is the author's forecast about the future oil price or economy? A) The economy will stay unaffected by the high oil price. B) The economy will be hit if the oil price keeps high. C) The oil price will surely drop by the end of the year. D) The oil price will keep on rising in the rest of the year.

It could be traditional music such like Afro-Caribbean rhythms, Cel- 67. ______. tic fiddles, and reggae. It includes Gregorian chants, Aborigine didgeridoo, or Tajikistani pop, Salsa, samba, or Johnny Clegg and Savuka. Some musicologists argue that all music are world music. After all, rock-and-roll traces back to Africa. 68. ______. Record store employees, on other hand, will direct you to a specific section. 69. ______. And the Billboard charts seem to define world music by artists who have put a pop spin on traditional music. Robert Browning, artistic director of the World Music Institute in New York, describes world-music on a spectrum of music genres. At one end of the spectrum you have classical or traditional "roots" music. On the other hand, you have music that is a mix of sounds and instruments, more 70. ______. often composed of Western artists. 71. ______.

As a result, streets are full of ever-flowing vehicles, thus make traffic jams a common encounter, and it certainly causes much inconvenience, waste of time, and inefficiency for many people. However, it is very difficult to find a good solution to this problem. But I think the following suggestions may be advisable to those concerned. First of all, our government should put more investment in building more roads to accelerate the flow on the streets.

Of course, there have always been people who have looked for adventure--those who have climbed the highest mountains, explored unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans. Now, however, there are people who look for an immediate pleasure from a dangerous activity which may. only last a few minutes or even seconds. Bungee lumping is considered to be a good example of such an activity. You jump from a high place about 200 meters above the ground with an elastic rope tied to your ankles. You fall at up to 150 kilometers an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground. It is said that 2 million people around the world have now tried bungee jumping. Other activities which most people would say are as dangerous as bungee jumping include jumping from tall buildings and diving into the sea from the top of high rocks. Why do people take part in such activities as these? (26)Some psychologists suggest that it is because life in modern societies has become safe and boring. Not very long ago, people's lives were constantly under danger. They had to go out and hunt for food, and life was a continuous battle for survival Nowadays, according to many people, life offers little excitement. They live and work in relatively safe conditions; they buy food in shops; and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill. (28) The answer for some of these people is to look for danger in activities such as bungee jumping. Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard. 26.

"When I got home that night, I told my father what I wanted to do. (30) "You give an honest day's work," he said, looking at me straight in my eyes. "They are paying you. If they want to do that, you let them do that. "I followed my father's advice for the rest of that summer and have lived by his words ever since. Of all my jobs I've had, it was my experience at Pennsylvania Railway Station that struck with me. Now I teach my players to have respect for other people and their possessions. Being a member of a team is a totally shared experience. (31) If one person steals, it destroys trust and hurts everyone. I can put up with many things, but not with the people who steals. If one of my players was caught stealing, he'd be gone. Whether you are on a sports team, in an office or a member of a family, if you can't trust one another, there's going to be trouble.

The earliest pictures were painted by people who hunted animals. They used to paint pictures of the animals they wanted to catch. Pictures of this kind have been found on the walls of caves in France and Spain. No one knows why they were painted there. (33) Perhaps the painters thought that their pictures would help them to catch these animals. Or perhaps human beings always wanted to tell stories in pictures. (34)About 5,000 years ago the Egyptians and other people in the Near East began to use pictures as a kind of writing. They drew simple pictures or signs to represent things ideas, and also to represent the sounds of their language. The signs these people used became a kind of alphabet. The Egyptians used to record information and to tell stories by putting picture-writing and pictures together. When an important person died, scenes and stories from his life were painted and carved on the walls of the place where he was buried. Some of them are like modern comic-strip stories. (35) It has been said that Egypt is the home of the comic strip. But, for the Egyptians, pictures still had magic power. So they did net try to make their way of writing simple. The ordinary people could not understand it. By the year 1000 BC, people who lived in the area around the Mediterranean Sea had developed a simpler system of writing. The signs they used were very easy to write, and there were fewer of them than in the Egyptians system. Later, the Romans copied the idea, and the Roman alphabet is now used all over the world. Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard. 33. Why were pictures of animals painted on the walls of caves in France and Spain?
